MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

pbrooks3 · December 24, 2010, 11:20:57 AM

Though it's still early in the season, here's an interesting statistic - Chris Goodman, the leading scorer for Hendrix has scored all of his field goals from behind the arc - 30 for 58. Impressive percentage to be sure. He's 0-7 inside the arc. Guess he needs to stay behind the 3-point line on the offensive end of the floor!

After taking care of business in the opening round of their tournament Tuesday night with a 17-point victory over Allegheny (PA), the Colonels played gracious hosts tonight in losing 65-61 to a strong Hanover team. Hanover jumped to a 15-point halftime lead & never really looked back. Centre chieseled away at the deficit but could never get over the hump. Mike Case led Hanover with 16 points & 11 rebounds. Centre had 3 score in double figures led by Jeff Mullaney with 18. Alex Lloyd tallied 15 with 11 boards; Greg Ross contributed 10 points & 9 rebounds. Colonels head into the bulk of SCAC play at 7-2. Next up is DePauw.

Oglethorpe wins on the road by 11 at Rhodes. Hopefully a tough non conference schedule will help them during the coming weeks. Doubles doubles by Todd Ward 13 and 13 and Alex Richey 15 and 11.
Schedule gets tougher on Sunday.

Centre continues its dominance of DePauw by winning on the road this afternoon 62-54. Centre played stellar defense holding the Tigers to 17 points in the 1st half on 20% shooting which enabled the Colonels to open up 14-point halftime lead. Centre shot the ball well and made a high % of their free throws to salt the game away down the stretch. A lot of turnovers was the only negative for Centre. Donavan Whiteside picked up 16 to help the Colonels trek
out to a 3-0 conference start.

Trinity was absolutely unconscious in the first half against Austin College. The Tigers shot 75% from the field and knocked down 8-of-10 threes to take a 56-44 lead at halftime. They just could not miss.

Trinity is going to be a team to reckon with and my pick to win the West.

Colorado has looked pretty good thus far.

I think that the final was 65-63.

And, he just barely got it off before the buzzer!

Meant to say Colorado College does look good. They may win the west with their good senior leadership and POTY candidate Rose. Still have this hunch about Trinity finishing strong enough to win the west.

Centre picked up their 1st conference loss on the road this afternoon at Oglethorpe 63-59. Senior Todd Ward and Alex Ritchey led OU with 41 points collectively - Ward had 22 and Ritchey had 4 threes. Greg Ross (18 pts; 10 rebounds) and the Colonels hung around & made it a game only because of strong offensive rebounding. Colonels shot less than 35% and starting guards, Mullaney and Ellis were a combined 1 for 22; 0 for 16 on 3's. Colin Lopez provided some spark off the bench for Centre in the 1st half with 14, including 4 3's. Centre stayed in the game for the 1st 30 minutes and then for some reason hit the wall @ the 10 minute mark quickly relinquishing a 7-point lead, never to lead again. Good win for the Petrels who were coming up a homecourt loss Saturday to DePauw. Centre is 4-1; Stormy Petrels are 3-2. BSU is also 4-1.
